24-Mar-2016 – The bee-line distance from 68°N 37°E to 68°N 36°E is 42 km. Terrain features, bypassing of forests and attempts to use water spaces for moving make us walk more than 50 km. Increasingly, we're walking onto the forest areas. There is crooked birch forest mixed with spruces and scrubby pine trees. We encounter islands of forest and try to bypass them without entering, because snow is deep there and there is no firm crust of ice.

Our destination is situated in Lovozero District in Murmansk Oblast' [Region], in thick pine and birch forest. We stop in 50 metres from it to have lunch. The nearest residential place is the Lovozero settlement which is situated 41 km to the west. We make our way there – in its outskirts there is one more confluence 68°N 35°E.
